Of course you can pet him. I promise he's super friendly, because his real owner—
[Ochako pauses for the briefest of seconds, because honestly, that's a weird thing to think about. She's aware that the pocket dimensions weren't really real, so this bunny shouldn't be really real, but he... behaves just like the bunny she met and loved months and months ago? Even though he can't possibly be the same bunny? In short: Confusion.
...She's just going to ignore it entirely!]
A-Anyway, Busta loves when you scratch between his ears! Give it a try!
[Busta hopes she doesn't mind, either, especially since he's getting a ton of attention. Aw yeah. He lifts his head a bit, nose twitching as he studies this nice new person.]
He is soft, isn't he? Kouda-kun always took really good care of him. [She feels a twinge of something—sadness?—at the mention of her classmate, but she pushes forward anyway.] Busta was super scared when I first brought him here, but Okuyasu helped calm him down! I think the food helped, too.
[Ochako blushes the slightest bit, because... ah. Ah. So she wasn't quite as sneaky as she'd thought.]
Busta was really scared when I brought him here. He was jumping everywhere, and I tried to catch him, but... [She just. Gestures weakly at the furniture that kept getting in the way, because guess who was hella clumsy.] He's calmed down now, though! He got super sleepy after he ate.

[ Still, it means a bunny!! And Maya has no qualms with reaching out to scratch between his ears, as suggested. ]
Wow... he's so soft!

[Hence the veggies absolutely everywhere...]

... And it definitely explains a lot of what's been going on with you lately.
[ the vegetables and the weird noises... she's just relieved that it's not actually something concerning. ]

Poor little guy. I'm sure he'll be a little more relaxed going forward-- he just needs to get used to his surroundings.
